About Google Veo 3.1 Lite
Veo 3.1 Lite is the high-efficiency tier of Google's Veo 3.1 video family, introduced in 2026 as what Google calls its most cost-effective video model. It costs less than half of Veo 3.1 Fast while running at the same speed, and is aimed at developers building high-volume video applications on the Gemini API's paid tier and in Google AI Studio.
Despite the budget positioning it keeps the family's core output: video with audio, generated from either a text prompt or an image.
Features
- Text-to-video and image-to-video generation, with audio included in the output.
- Resolutions of 720p and 1080p.
- Landscape 16:9 and portrait 9:16 aspect ratios.
- Clip durations of 4, 6 or 8 seconds, with pricing scaled to length.
- Text prompts up to 1,024 tokens; one video returned per request.
- Priced below half of Veo 3.1 Fast at equivalent generation speed.
What people use it for
- High-volume programmatic video inside apps and services, the workload Google names as the design target.
- Social-content pipelines that need many short clips in both portrait and landscape.
- Cheap large-scale experimentation before promoting a prompt to the Fast or standard tiers.
- Product features that embed generated clips where per-unit cost decides feasibility.
Reported strengths
- The lowest-cost entry point to the Veo 3.1 model line, per Google's own positioning.
- Matches Veo 3.1 Fast on speed while costing less than half as much.
- Keeps audio generation and both input modes rather than shipping a silent, text-only cut-down.
- Native 9:16 portrait support out of the box for mobile-first formats.
Reported limitations
- No 4K output; the documented ceiling is 1080p.
- No scene extension, so clips cannot be chained into longer sequences the way the flagship tier allows.
- One video per request and a 1,024-token prompt cap constrain batch ergonomics and very detailed prompts.
- Released as a preview model, so its interface and specs can still change before general availability.
